Nature Inspiration ... for NaNoWriMo

I stood in October amid the fallen maple leaves, 

a yellow blanket warming and warning

the blades of green grass of the coming cold;

Afternoon sun filtered through the lacy canopy

freeing the green and yellow

hues to embrace one more day

with their gifts of shade and respite for weary walkers

and the last birds of autumn;

Two ciders chided their neighbors: We are green.

Here, at the beginning of the path, I stood, 

amid daydreams of fairy friends and ancient folk

in stories I have not yet written

but hear them in the gentle breeze

as I gaze ahead at their world;

the granite stone centered in a circle of slate slabs

pointed to the wooden cable bridge draping over the 

brook breathing softly in ripples over round river rocks,

each sprite and stone and stream 

alive and freely sharing their stories of summer dances

when the fairy folk dazzle in the timing of their transparent

wings as they dart among the maple leaves and dip into the rushing current, laughing and singing ancient stories not to be forgotten;

The melody flows in my mind, and I am held captive

in the rhythm of a world that could be

and would be when this magical spot

is written alive in the pages of their gift

to add to my story.
